Tropical Storm Ian slows down, shifts west as it sets sights on Florida

Fox 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is watching Tropical Storm Ian closely. As of Sunday morning, Tropical Storm Ian had top winds of 50 miles per hour and was moving west-northwest at 12 miles per hour.
Ian is expected to intensify rapidly and Sadiku says it could become a category 1 hurricane by late Sunday night or early Monday morning.
According to Sadiku, the entire west coast of Florida is fair game for a hurricane landfall next week.
He advises residents to get prepared now, so those plans can be implemented when there is a better idea of where the storm will hit.

Do treat this man well, eh, and give him a raise asap! 🧑🏾‍🏫 KUDOS! Love from 🇯🇲

A day ago: “It wont affect the panhandle.” Yeah right. These massive deadly storms almost ALWAYS shift to the West once they enter the Gulf. You watch and see: it will move up the Alabama/Georgia line like most of them do.

[@ds1868]

Really good presentation. He mentions all the important variables particularly the divergent approach currently with the two major models ECM and GFS. Either way with the worst impacts of any hurricane concentrated on the eastern side of the circular flow, this is a really bad track for the west coast of Florida, with the very latest tracking suggesting Fort Myers to Tampa in the firing line.

[@siriusstar99]

I’ve always found the EURO to be the most accurate in this case I hope the EURO IS WRONGO .

[@frankw7266]

One thing not mentioned... if it follows the European and steers eastward into Tampa, you're likely looking at a much more significant landfall event since it won't make it up into the northern wind sheer and will probably land as a 3 or 4.

[@Omnipulsar]

The euro tends to be more accurate then the gfs

Perfect Tony

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

I really hate the uncertainty of Ian. I have been through the worst of the worst in cat 5s on the islands and south Florida costing both life and property as well as every other catagory. It's a total shame with advancement in technology today regarding Hurricaynes are concern that civilization is facing unpredictability once again . West coast of Florida does not have the required building codes that the east Florida coast has today. Where the east coast can handle a cat 4 direct now of days, the west coast unfortunately can not barely if any get past a cat three safety . This storm should not be a guessing game at all.

[@jimbeam2705]

First off ,you can't even spell...HURRICANE.. Second off I don't believe one word of your comment. As I've lived in Florida for over 40 years in many places. So ,actually what 3rd world country do you live in?

So it would be best if it heads into the Northeastern Gulf where it will far more likely be weakened. If it heads towards Tampa Bay or South West FL it would be far stronger when it makes landfall.

[@kp7castin150]

[@victoriagreyh1463]

Hey all, When I was watching Irma, I realized Florida gets this EVERY YEAR! If I lived where my home was going to be threatened or literally destroyed once a year; I'd think I'd be smart enough to move. Then I realized, every year they get demolished somewhere and then apply for emergency government help at the expense of the taxpayers. This is theft. It is taking taxpayer money to rebuild something that will be most certainty reined in a year. I have a cabin, I live near a major river- if that river threatened to flood my cabin every year; my brain might kick in and say; maybe we better move to a safer place and higher ground. Florida isn't worth this. I have no NO NO NO sympathy for anyone who stays and gets demolished. NONE
